Morning light on the mountain stream,
catches the eye of the child within his dreams.
The day begins, present and aware,
of all the beauty, he plays without a care.
Castles on the riverbank, a choir of birds in song,
picking spring flowers in…
Why does everyone have a better acoustic guitar sound than me...?
More Neil Young sounding to me but I can also picture/hear B.O.C (fyi: Blue Oyster Cult for the kiddies..:>) covering this or the Marshall Tucker Band.
Love the first chords, drew me right in. Wish I wrote it! What's the intro's chord progression so's I can steal em! If this was a bit faster, it'd be a great Monkees tune (i love the Monkees!) or 'country-fy' it and I can hear Tom T. Hall covering it (is he still alive?)
;>)
Reg has had a little too much to drink and decides to have a dance................while the piano players are at combat for supremacy......there's a rumble going on...............
Fathers Day on Sunday....
Thought I'd write a song for my son.
Here you go lad...
As the Sun shines....Lyrics
And my boy.....
You Smile so wide as the sun shines.
But you will keep your joy as the clouds try,
to stop our light…
it finally happened the guys from jemima's kite got together for a gig in otley yorkshire, with geir and osckilo joining in the festivities.
this was a wee practice before the event, with me on vocals and greeny on guitar and backing vox live…
Take me back to ole Virginia Lord, he's pluggin' in a mic.
I dig the cheesy Farfisa Rotary patch......
Here's a song to sing
a fairy tale
no mountain high
or oceans to sail
no darken nights
in the belly of a whale
no hammer's throne
or red…
Jean Jaques Burnel is one of my bass heroes. This song is the second I recorded with the new Squier bass. I kept the other instruments secondary to show off the bass
So I'm back at Caffe Lena on Thursday night gearing up for my two songs and a band called "Driftwood" takes the stage (banjo, acoustic guitar, fiddle) and blows everyone away.
Kinda gets me thinking...
And writing...
"Driftwood"
Coming down…
One could use this to compare the changes I made to accommodate the change in tuning because this is the Centaur tuned piece but I changed the master tuning back to "standard" 12 equal.
Full picture of the guitarron body - it sounded great - nicely deep.
The guitarron is fretless with a very short neck which reminds me of a giant Oud - the wikipedia article will give you an idea of just how huge this thing really is…
You never would have caught me playing this genre a few years ago. WHat the hell happened ??
All the instruments were recorded with an open mic at my house. Which, as you know is always a chaotic place to record :) If you listen hard enough…
I wanted to see how much "music" I could get out of one chord and four notes. Sorry that it has a sort of cheesy 80s sound at times, but that's when I started playing guitar and it's hard to reprogram your brain. The chord is Bsus2 and the solo…
On youtube there's a short video clip of guitarist Shawn Lane (R.I.P) executing an extremely difficult chord voicing that requires extensive finger stretching, which Shawn calls "the hardest chord in the world." I altered the chord a little bit…
Comments on Dave Berry's stuff
Why can everyone else play cool solos but not me! Bring up the main vox!
I'd bring up the solo and add reverb to put it 'up' among the stars with the strings!
what a great easy feelin vibe! The change up tempo kicks it good! Who needs the MTB...?
Yup, flying... also kinda reminds me of Queens work for the Flash Gordon film soundtrack at points and also UK (look them up)with their synth sounds.
I was relaxing, drifting down the river in a canoe then the song picked up! Nice solo, definately M.T.B. flavored.
